That is correct - the front dampers are different for all three years but mount pretty much the same. The '69 is different due to fender and liner changes. The radiator supports are the same for all three years.

Yes, the canisters all look pretty much the same...it is just the bracket change that differentiates them. What's alwasys puzzled me is why '68 are different...as the cahnges between '67 aqnd '68 are very very minimal.

what I`ve seen , it seems like the trunk shakers get more "tucked"
in on 68`s than 67`s, so brackets may be differently bent..or am I mistaken (again?lol)
looks like on my buddys 67 they stick out into the trunk lots more than on my 69 anyway..

My '67 'vert was fortunately unmolested prior to my taking posession of it, so it still had all its parts in their proper locations. Here is a photo of the driver side vibration damper taken during the front end disassembly. Only the bolts attaching the damper to the radiator support have been removed. If I find a photo of the rears, I'll send them along also. Hope this helps.
